returning to challenge adventures

If you've been following along, you know I'm really busy at work during the first quarter of the year, and by March/April I'm ready for vacation - we took three this year, one week and two long weekends! I've kept up with Card Buffets and haven't had to skip one yet this year. In order to have choices at the buffets (it wouldn't really be a buffet if there weren't choices) I've made lots of cards. As always, I use challenges for inspiration, but - this is where something had to give - I haven't had time to write up any descriptions for blog posts. I finished the taxes today, so now I can get back to playing and posting - yay! Of course, I went to one of my favorite sites first, and found a color challenge at the Watercooler:

I had a request for wedding cards on the buffet, and personally I forget to have anniversary cards on hand, so this is what I came up with:

For some reason, most of the choices I prepared for Card Buffet this month are in the blue-green-yellow range. When I noticed that, I was inspired to try the rainbow challenge from CAS-ual Fridays, using this fun idea from Rachael Tessman:

Another case where I may have been having too much fun - when I pressed the Shimmer White card stock down on the inked Fluttering embossing folder, I intended to leave more white space around the edges to better correspond with the sketch. It's pretty sweet this way, too, though.

Great job with Penny's colour challenge over at Watercooler Wednesdays. And I love the heart embossed layer..one of my most fave embossing folders. Hope to see you again over at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenges. :)

Love the way you've used Penny's colours for this challenge, Kathe. Used with that Happy Heart embossing folder, that combination really rocks. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

What a stunning card you have shared with us over at TGIF challenges this week! There's nothing wrong with changing the sketch up a bit! It's all about inspiration & putting our own spin on things! Love how your card turned out! Thanks from everyone over at TGIF challenges! 💖

Continuing Adventures

Many years ago (but not far away) a college dropout who had recently broken off her engagement, decided to buy a car, quit her job, and see the U.S.A. No, it wasn't a Chevrolet. Since then, there have been many more adventures, including major ones - marriage, motherhood, a college degree, a career - and minor ones. Blogging is one of the newest ones.
